S2E7: Tate - 我要过更有创造力和挑战的人生

Tate是细胞治疗专家，也是诗人，同时还是一个ADHDer。他出生在津巴布韦，小学时随家人来到英国，热爱运动，打过橄榄球，成绩一直很好，大学时去日本交换过一年，在那里度过了让他记忆深刻的一年。在读博士时，Tate陷入了深深的抑郁，在做抑郁症治疗时才被确诊为ADHD。

他现在在一家生物制药公司工作，喜欢旅游，尽管他觉得有的时候旅游更像是一种逃离。希望你喜欢Tate的故事。

也附上他的两首诗歌。

Tate's Poem I

Do fish swim in the night?
Drowning in desire
Curiosity aflame
I send flirtations in lingering gazes.
The cheeky smile betraying intent
If i were a fish. id be the first to bite the hook

No words uttered
Gaze kept
We float around in anticipation.
To greet would be the breaking of the spell
If i were a fish, id be the first to sing the songs of the sea

My libido a pendulum
In perpetual motion
It never rests
Back and forth it carries me in rhythm
If i were a fish, id be the first to drown in the sea

诗歌 I （ChatGPT翻译得很好哦）

鱼儿会在夜里游动吗？

溺于欲望之中

好奇心在燃烧

我用滞留的目光传递调情。

调皮的微笑透露出意图

如果我是鱼，我会第一个咬钩

没有言语

眼神相对

我们在期待中徘徊。

问候会打破这种魔咒

如果我是鱼，我会第一个唱起海的歌谣

我的欲望如钟摆

永不停息

它从不休息

来回摆动，带我进入节奏

如果我是鱼，我会第一个在海中溺亡

Tate's Poem II

Gotta catch em all (a dying innocence)

Peek a boo
Peek a chu
I choose you

Raise my self a flag at half mast
Raise my self a man at long last
An unknown world all you thought you knew
A falsehood perpetuated by the ignorant

In england you will find pounds on the streets.
‘See a penny … pick it up rub the queens nose’

Naive i saw a sheen on the tracks readying to jump. If not for my mother’s grasp.
We all believed the same lore
I wonder how long till the veil is lifted from all eyes.

The dream dies slowly
The truth eventually bears its ugly head.
3pm walking in the dark alone no one to hold my hand. I repeat well trained steps.
Key in hand… lock the door behind yourself.
If someone knocks do not answer.
Television my sitter i perfected the second tongue. Absorbed curiosities knowledge propaganda in leu of dying innocence.

Raise my self a flag at half mast
Raise my self a man at long last
An unknown world all you thought you knew
A falsehood perpetuated by the ignorant

How can it be??? Its its over 9000!!!

Stress levels unmatched.
Willingly or not i was transplanted from my natural habitat
The bush of a country with its lands wide spreading golden sunsets giving
To a land entrapped in the dying memories of empire
Streets lined with yellow no red phone boxes in sight
Oh but we do have david Beckham.. the spice girls.
Never mind, mr bean is now decades old and mini owned by bmw.
I trudge along onward

Everyday when you’re walking down the street
And everybody that you meet
Has an original point of view
And i say Hey

Dont you dare touch my hair!!
‘Oh but it feels so strange so coarse rough
Like iron wool!!’

It is no wonder i tried to change
Chemical burns to a scalp, Tears in eyes
how much longer, mom?
S-curl or is it a perm?
The childlike innocence eventually succumbs to the adults bigotry.
Vestiges of empire. You cannot have your hair long.. you cant have your hair short
Erased individuality.
Be it short, afro, cornrows, sharp cut or dreads
My naturality is not absurd
You cannot plant your hand and pull as you did my lands.

Raise my self a flag at half mast
Raise my self a man at long last
An unknown world all you thought you knew
A falsehood perpetuated by the ignorant

In my 20’s i finally grew that beard i strived for lest for a patch below the chin
Guess i never truly grasped all i had to learn
In my 30’s i sense a moustache coming in
A new round of opportunities maturities to root

Peek a boo
Peek a chu
I choose me
Raise my self a flag at half mast
Raise my self a man at long last

诗歌 II （ChatGPT翻译得很好哦）

得抓住所有（一个逝去的纯真）

捉迷藏

皮卡丘

我选择你

为自己升起半旗

终于成为一个男人

一个你以为了解的未知世界

被无知者延续的虚假

在英格兰，你会在街上找到硬币。

‘看到一便士……捡起来，揉一揉女王的鼻子’

天真地看到轨道上的光芒，准备跳下去。如果不是母亲的抓住。

我们都相信同样的传说

我想知道，多久后所有人的眼罩才会被揭开。

梦想缓慢地死亡

真相最终露出它丑陋的头。

下午三点，独自一人在黑暗中行走，无人牵手。我重复训练有素的步伐。

钥匙在手……锁上门。如果有人敲门，不要回答。

电视是我的保姆，我完美地掌握了第二语言。吸收了好奇心、知识和宣传，代替了逝去的纯真。

为自己升起半旗

终于成为一个男人

一个你以为了解的未知世界

被无知者延续的虚假

这怎么可能？？其其力量超过九千！！！

无与伦比的压力。

不管愿不愿意，我被移植出了我的自然栖息地

一个乡村的灌木丛，广袤的土地，金色的日落

到了一个被帝国回忆困住的地方

街道上有黄色标志，没有红色电话亭

哦，但我们有大卫·贝克汉姆……还有辣妹组合。

没关系，憨豆先生已经数十年了，迷你车现在由宝马拥有。

我继续前行

每天，当你走在街上

每个人你遇到的

都有独特的观点

我说嘿

别碰我的头发！！

‘哦，但感觉好奇怪，好粗糙

像铁丝毛！！’

难怪我试图改变

化学烧伤头皮，眼中含泪

妈妈，还要多久？

S卷发还是烫发？

童年的纯真最终屈服于成人的偏见。

帝国的遗迹。你不能留长发……你不能留短发

抹去了个性。

无论是短发、爆炸头、玉米辫、锐利剪裁还是脏辫

我的自然性并不荒谬

你不能像对待我的土地那样随意拉扯我的头发。

为自己升起半旗

终于成为一个男人

一个你以为了解的未知世界

被无知者延续的虚假

二十多岁时，我终于长出了梦寐以求的胡子，除了下巴下的一小块

我似乎从未真正掌握所有需要学习的东西

三十多岁时，我感觉到胡子正在长出来

一个新的机会和成熟期开始扎根

捉迷藏

皮卡丘

我选择我自己

为自己升起一面旗
